Subject: [PATCH 1/3] allow console unregistration
Randy just informed me that the patch limits are bigger now, so here are the
actual patches.
This patch allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and
updates the FB layer to use it. This makes debugging new console drivers
much easier, since you can properly clean them up before unloading.
Antonio already checked it out (and suggested a tweak for the fbcon side)
so I think it's on its way already via the FB tree.
